Seems like we're now in the later stages of the 15, three minute

His credibility with me has been long dead. :(

With me it never lived, we've simply had to put up with his FUD for 16
months.
Mark, do you really mean to say that you were prejudiced against JMF
before he even write a word here?
Strange thing to say, since he did actually identify a real performance
regression, even if he has since become obsessed with demonstrating that
a micro-performance slowdown means that Python is mathematically and
logically broken.
IIRC he first started spreading his rubbish sometime in August 2012, I
make that around 16 months, what does your maths skills make it? He
also identified a problem in an edge case that stood out like a sore
thumb when compared to real world cases. Big deal.

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask
